The Johnson Valley shared use area will be temporarily closed to the
public Aug.11-25 while the Marine Corps conducts training to support a
large-scale exercise. It was determined the window of closure for
military use could be shortened from the previous announcement of Aug.
1-30 after the Marine Corps refined the scope of training.

The BLM will host meetings to gather input on a proposal to restrict use (temporarily) to street legal vehicles only, on segments of routes that are in County Service Areas (CSA) and maintained by the county.

We need people to be there, LET THE BLM KNOW WE HAVE LOST ENOUGH TRAILS ALREADY!

Remember the other side wants ALL trails closed, there is no compromise.

The first meeting will be held Wednesday April 19 starting at 5:30p.m. at the Yucca Valley Community Center 57090 Twentynine Palms Highway,Yucca Valley CA.

Representatives from the BLM and Marine Corps will host a Resource Management Group meeting on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the Lucerne Valley Community Center, 33187

Some Concerns
and Some Reassurances

Most people who enjoy Johnson Valley on dirt bikes, quads, buggies
and 4WD know the Friends of Giant Rock. Family vacations exploring on
two and four wheels gave them a love for the desert in all its moods. It
also gave them a dislike for those visitors
who do not understand this country and treat it badly.
